    Need a bit more information please.

    Is the display flickering constantly or whilst doing certain tasks? What do you mean by slow? Slow loading programs, slow on the internet, slow booting up etc....


    Have you recently installed any software or downloaded any files? If so, were they from trusted sources?
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
